Answer is configuring the SaaS solution
Your company has an on-premises network that contains multiple servers.
The company plans to reduce the following administrative responsibilities of network administrators:
- Backing up application data
- Replacing failed server hardware
- Managing physical server security
- Updating server operating systems
- Managing permissions to shared documents
You need to identify which administrative responsibilities will be eliminated after the planned migration.
Which two responsibilities should you identify?
Replacing failed server hardware
Backing up application data
Managing physical server security
Updating server operating systems
Managing permissions to shared documents
Answer are;
Replacing failed server hardware
Managing physical server security"
Azure virtual machines run on Hyper-V physical servers. The physical servers are owned and managed by Microsoft. As an Azure customer, you have no access to the physical servers. Microsoft manage the replacement of failed server hardware and the security of the physical servers so you don’t need to.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Microsoft have no control over the applications you run on the virtual machines. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that application data is backed up.
D: Microsoft do not manage the operating systems you run on the virtual machines. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that the operating systems are updated.
E: Microsoft have no control over the shared folders you host on the virtual machines. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that folder permissions are configured appropriately.

Which Azure service should you use to store certificates?
Azure Security Center
an Azure Storage account
Azure Key Vault
Azure Information Protection
Answer is Azure Key Vault
Azure Key Vault is a secure store for storage various types of sensitive information including passwords and certificates.
Azure Key Vault can be used to Securely store and tightly control access to tokens, passwords, certificates, API keys, and other secrets.
Secrets and keys are safeguarded by Azure, using industry-standard algorithms, key lengths, and hardware security modules (HSMs). The HSMs used are Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2 validated.
Access to a key vault requires proper authentication and authorization before a caller (user or application) can get access. Authentication establishes the identity of the caller, while authorization determines the operations that they are allowed to perform.

From Azure Monitor, you can view which user turned off a specific virtual machine during the last 14 days.
Instructions: Review the underlined text. If it makes the statement correct, select “No change is needed”. If the statement is incorrect, select the answer choice that makes the statement correct.
No change is needed
Azure Event Hubs
Azure Activity Log
Azure Service Health
Answer is Azure Activity Log
You would use the Azure Activity Log, not Azure Monitor to view which user turned off a specific virtual machine during the last 14 days.
Activity logs are kept for 90 days. You can query for any range of dates, as long as the starting date isn't more than 90 days in the past.
In this question, we would create a filter to display shutdown operations on the virtual machine in the last 14 days.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Box 1: Yes
Traditionally, IT expenses have been considered a Capital Expenditure (CapEx). Today, with the move to the cloud and the pay-as-you-go model, organizations have the ability to stretch their budgets and are shifting their IT CapEx costs to Operating Expenditures (OpEx) instead. This flexibility, in accounting terms, is now an option due to the ג€as a Serviceג€ model of purchasing software, cloud storage and other IT related resources.
Box 2: No
Two virtual machines using the same size could have different disk configurations. Therefore, the monthly costs could be different.
Box 3: Yes
When an Azure virtual machine is stopped, you don't pay for the virtual machine. However, you do still pay for the storage costs associated to the virtual machine.
The most common storage costs are for the disks attached to the virtual machines. There are also other storage costs associated with a virtual machine such as storage for diagnostic data and virtual machine backups.
